Integrated Project Delivery

IPDEducation: know better...do better

Integrated Project Delivery, or IPD, has become a dominant ideology for project delivery over the past decade or so. Characterized by its approach for defining the 'problem' and providing the 'solution' through a 'holistic' or integrated Team Approach, IPD is now being promoted (in one form or another) by just about every constituency of the Design and Construction Industry.

When using an integrated delivery approach, owners recognize their changing role, and the importance of developing their IPD leadership capability through the mastery of evolved management systems, implementation tools, and skill sets. The owner's need for new and evolved leadership and management capability is how IPDEducation can help.

3PQ© was developed to identify and organize the roles and responsibilities of resources in the delivery of a performance-based scope-of-work through coordinated collaboration and knowledge exchange. As the name implies, The 3PQ Acquisition & Management System© is the management plan by which owners execute Integrated Project Delivery, by use of Construction Management @ Risk, Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), Design-Build, IPD Contract Model, or any other integrated delivery approach.

The 4-Module coursework teaches how Risk Profiles change when using IPD. It teaches The 3PQ Acquisition & Management System which imparts IPD knowledge and a "work breakdown structure" for the development and execution of Integrated Project Delivery. This is done by recognizing the 7 Fundamental Expectations of every Owner, and by focusing on the owner's role as both a leader and an IPD Team Member.
